    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Overall spacing: No longer requires a 
      restart to take effect.
    ! Command Line: Passing special folders "Recycle Bin" and "Network" as paths to a 
      running application was case-sensitive when it should be case-insensitive. Fixed.

    ! A complex definition like the one below was not parsed correctly to show the correct 
      icons and captions in the menu. Fixed.
        "Photos|<xyicons>\camera.ico" goto "D:\Temp\";||"Wallpaper|<xyicons>\help.ico" goto "E:\Temp\";
      The icon and caption of the second location are ignored, so this menu item is called 
      "Photos" and the icon is "<xyicons>\camera.ico".
    ! Dual Locations: Fixed some glitches.

v25.10.0115 - 2023-11-13 12:39
    + Toolbar | Favorite Folders: Added command "Toggle Dual Favorite Folder" to the 
      button's right-click menu. Adds/Removes the combined locations of both panes 
      (format: active pane||inactive pane) to/from the favorites list.
      So the new Dual Locations feature has made its way into the GUI in the form of Dual 
      Favorite Folders.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | General spacing: Renamed to "Overall 
      spacing".
    + Edit | Paste Special | Edit Clipboard...: Now it remembers the setting of the Word 
      Wrap checkbox.
    ! Dual Locations: Fixed some glitches.

    + Dual Locations: Now even dual scripts work. Note that internally the inactive pane 
      becomes active will being processed, so <curpath> works here:
        echo "active: <curpath>";||echo "inactive: <curpath>";
    * Dual Locations: The inactive is now shown (if it wasn't visible anyway) *before* the 
      action is performed.

v25.10.0113 - 2023-11-12 11:34
    + Dual Locations: Now you can use fancy stuff like filters and searches in both 
      locations:
        D:\Test|a*||E:\Test|b*        //visual filters for both panes
        D:\Test?cat||E:\Test?dog      //quick searches in both panes
        |cat|||dog                    //filter active pane by cat, inactive pane by dog
        ?*.txt||?*.jpg                //search active pane for *.txt, inactive pane for *.jpg
      Of course, you can do different things on each side of ||. Filter here, search there, etc.
    * SC goto: It used to throw an error if the location was not available. Not anymore. 
      Not really useful and too annoying.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Did not happen on startup if the inactive pane pointed to an 
      unavailable location. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters and 
      Live Filter Box | Use space character for Boolean AND: When enabled, patterns with 
      flanking spaces could not be used as expected. Fixed. In a pattern with flanking 
      spaces such as ab_ or _ab or _ab_ (underscore here stands for space), no spaces are 
      now replaced by AND.

v25.10.0111 - 2023-11-11 19:16
    + Favorites | Favorite Folders: Experimental support for dual locations. Both folders 
      are separated by ||. The first folder will be opened in the active pane, the second 
      in the inactive pane. For example:
        \\VEGA\Users\Donald||D:\
      Notes:
      - Dual Pane mode is auto-enabled if necessary.
      - There is currently no GUI way to add dual locations to the favorites list, so you 
        have to manually edit the favorites list in List Management | Favorite Folders...
      - Dual favorites are not marked in the tree. 
      - The icon in menus and lists is taken from the first locations.
      - File operations that target dual favorite folders only go to the first location.
      - Currently the second location does not support any fancy stuff like wildcards, 
        variables, filters. It should just be a plain path to a folder.
    + Address Bar: Experimental support for dual locations (see above).
    + Well, actually all going to a location now supports dual locations, also for example 
      scripting:
        goto "\\VEGA\Users\Donald||D:\";
      Quite nice.

v25.10.0110 - 2023-11-11 15:02
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles: Added dropdown "General spacing". Here 
      you can modify the general spacing (or airiness, or density) of the main window. The 
      value stands for pixels that are inserted in different places.
      The new factory default is 2, which is 2 more than in any previous version of the 
      application. File Explorer seems to be getting more airy with each release. To keep 
      up with the times (and customer expectations), XYplorer now also starts with a 
      little more air by default.
      Notes:
      - A change here requires a restart of the application to take effect.
      - In addition to a more relaxed airiness, a higher setting also gives you larger 
        mouse targets.
      - This beta may knock some of your toolbar buttons off the toolbar. :)
    * Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Serial rename by Up and Down 
      keys: Renamed to "Serial rename with Up and Down keys".
    ! List: Serial rename with (Shift+)TAB did not preselect the item correctly since 
      20231101. Fixed.

    + Catalog: The recent update to tweak CatalogFlags now also handles files:
        64: Automatically update item paths when files or folders are renamed or moved.
            NOTE: This is only done for *single* items being renamed or moved, not for 
            bundles of items.
      Keeps your Catalog in sync with reality.

    * File | Settings Special | Load Configuration...: This command would not load a 
      configuration from a different application data path as expected. Instead, it 
      created a copy of the foreign ini file in the current application data path. Totally 
      weird. This has now been changed: You can load a configuration from anywhere, and 
      its path will be the new application data path. 100% natural.

    + File | Duplicate | Copy Here As...: Now you can enter absolute or relative paths 
      along with the name. Any missing subfolders will be created silently.
      All these examples work now:
        Perseus.txt               (always worked)
        moq\Perseus.txt           (always worked, but was never documented)
        ..\moq\Perseus.txt        (works now)
        Q:\moq\Perseus.txt        (works now)
        ..\moq\                   (works now; will use the source filename as target filename)
    + File | Duplicate | Copy Here As...: Now there is a small feedback area at the bottom 
      that tells you a bit about your choice:
        "Name equals source."   (red) 
        "Name exists."          (black) (on OK you will get an overwrite prompt)
        "Name is available."    (green)
      The tooltip of this label shows the full target path.
    + Drag'n'Drop Context Menu | Move Here As...: Now there is a little feedback area (ses above). 
    + Drag'n'Drop Context Menu | Move Here As...: Now the target path is displayed in the 
      dialog.
    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters and 
      Live Filter Box | Use space character for Boolean AND: Added an exception that seems 
      quite natural. Now, if the entire pattern is wrapped in asterisks, any spaces in the 
      pattern will not be considered a Boolean AND.
      If "Use space character for Boolean AND" is enabled then:
        cmt:black hair      //matches all items with "black" AND "hair" in the comment
        cmt:*black hair*    //matches all items with "black hair" in the comment
        cmt:"black hair"    //matches all items with the comment "black hair"
      The same logic works for Multi-Column Matching now, of course.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0233.
    ! Live Filter Box and Hover Box: Pressing ESC on a Hover Box while the focus was in 
      the Live Filter Box removed the Live Filter instead of the Hover Box. Fixed.

    * Serial Rename with Up and Down Keys: The recent changes were too smart. Now it's 
      simpler: Hold down the CTRL key if you want to measure the cursor position from the 
      right end of the file name. This is useful when editing serial numbers and other 
      parts that are usually appended to the name.
    + Serial Rename with Up and Down Keys: The above CTRL trick now also works in all small 
      lists that support rename.
    * Mobile Hover Box: Now the box is only updated on key up. This way you can use fast 
      key repetition to move through a list without being hindered by preview work.
      By the way, the same logic has been applied to the preview tab and pane for many years.
    * Updated the help file.
